The biocomputing group (Head: Christof Schütte, for personal homepage click here.) develops mathematical methods for analyzing complex systems. The focus lies on molecular systems with biological function. Complementary activities include mathematically related application-driven research with applications ranging from cellular reaction networks, and polymer mixtures, for example, to problems from the geo-sciences or economics. A matter of particular interest is the inclusion of data, whether from experiment or simulation, into the modeling process and related questions concerning appropriate visualization.
